Speaking at the examination hearings

The right to appear and make your evidence heard by the Inspectors is usually restricted to people who made representations seeking a change to the plan during the consultation on the Deposit Plan. The consultation took place between 18 February and 15 April 2025.

If you are unsure whether you will be allowed to speak, please contact the Programme Officer for advice.

Anyone has the right to attend the hearing sessions as an observer. It is helpful to inform the Programme Officer in advance if you plan to attend.

At the hearings, the Inspector considers all evidence submitted in formal representations, hearing statements and given verbally at the hearings themselves. Once the dates of the hearings have been confirmed, we will provide the programme of hearings, agendas and hearing statements.
